Recap

According to the entry on PpW wikia, the show took place on 5.09.2015, which was a Friday. However, during Extreme Floorfiller vs KAT, a commentator stated "today is Thursday".
The white balance for most of the video was set incorrectly, resulting in a blown out image.
Sun Ju's name is misspelled in the captions as "Sun Yu". Likewise, Extreme Floorfiller is captioned as "Exstreme Floorfiller".
Sun Ju, Superior and Rob Scaffold have the same shoes and shorts, indicating the same person under the masks.
Steven Strong was portrayed as an Olympic athlete, complete with the flag of Poland and an Olympic entrance theme.
According to one of the commentators: "There used to be a tradition at Neomania, that it always opened with a pro vs backyard fight".
The commentary seems to be about two seconds behind the events on screen.
At one point during the Fatal 4-Way Match, Ultimo Combo started fixing the ropes and the commentators asked not to pay attention to it.
Hirinus pinned eliminated both Superior and Ultimo Combo at the same time.
The commentators explained the name of Steven's finisher, Kakałko Splash ("Cocoa Splash"): "Steven takes steroids and he needs a nice steroid flavour, so he picked cocoa". They promptly then stated it was a joke, because Steven's naturally strong, but he does like cocoa (and is going to release his own brand of cocoa - to be availabe at a local shop where Johnny Blade used to work for a time).
Per the commentators, referee Jędrek was found in a garbage bin, or was so broke he accepted any job, or worked for a garden maintenance company.
The referee barely did anything in any of the matches, besides counting.
The commentators kept mispronouncing "Feager" as /ˈfiː.dʒər/ instead of /ˈfeɪ.dʒər/ during his fight (but not later on).
When put in a Tombstone Piledriver by Feager, Johnny Blade protected his head with his hand, much a commentator's great amusement.
At one point during his match, Feager attacked Blade with a plastic vuvuzela.
During Extreme Floorfiller vs KAT, the commentator gave shoutouts to wrestlers from other groups: Lion and CMD from DWN, Patryk and Daniel from DDW; Krzysztof Jabłoński and Rafał Orszak from DFW; and Michał Wójtowicz from "WDW" (said to be an in-joke). They refer to DFW as a professional federation.
Automatico won the first round by very conspicuously putting both of his legs on the ropes, which the referee didn't seem to notice (or care about).
Around 3.5 minutes before the end of the show, a woman can be heard greeting the commentators, who respond in kind.
Several seconds later the camera's battery died and the show cut to a second camera, this one using 4:3 aspect ratio (as opposed to the first one's 16:9).
The video ends with the the two commentators getting out of their seats and commenting on whether or not their track did in fact record.
